REDUCE CO2; BREATHE SLOWER

There are about 7 billion humans on earth, and each of us generates roughly 600 lbs of carbon dioxide per year.

So now that the EPA has declared CO2 a pollutant and environmental hazard, will Congress enact “breathing standards” as they did mileage standards for automobiles? Will they be “fleet-wide”, so to speak, or age-adjusted?

Newborns ------------- 44 breaths per minute
Infants -------------- 20–40 breaths per minute
Preschool children --- 20–30 breaths per minute
Older children ------- 16–25 breaths per minute
Adults --------------- 12–20 breaths per minute

Will athletes be exempted?

Adults during strenuous exercise 35–45 breaths per minute
Athletes' peak 60–70 breaths per minute

When will "complete yoga breathing," a style of respiration that encourages slow breathing at a rate of about six breaths per minute be required?

Congress will be exempt, of course.
